projectiondesign F35 Panorama
projectionfreak.com: Edge-blending just became obsolete. Well, at least SOME edge-blending that is. Projectiondesign just released the F35 Panorama, a projector with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Funny, because just today I was looking at an ad for a 21:9 monitor and it seemed strange to me that you wouldn’t just use two monitors, given that monitors are pretty cheap and most graphics cards can handle it anyway…..but this- this is just crazy when you think about it. It’s still a single chip DLP, but up to 7k! Now if they can work this into the F85 series…..or if I can just upgrade my Optoma in the basement….

Ive been hearing about these 21:9 monitors for a couple of weeks now and have seen a few videos of them and I really like the concept of the singularity in wide screens monitoring. no more breaks in the image and losing my mouse. But i cant help but giggle at the marketing campaign technique of not doing the simple math that 21:9 is really just 7:3. though as the article points out the actual aspect ratio is 2.31:1 so the people selling these arent idiots they are just trying to make it sound more impressive
Wow, pretty cool! I hadn't heard of a 21:9 monitor/ projector before and I guess it seems only the natural progression of technology. Of course classically was 4:3, then 16:9, and apparently now 21:9. While this is a great tool for many applications, as they mentioned large conference rooms, for theaters, etc., it might not be the most useful for the average consumer. That said, this is clearly a professional device and one that I think could be quite useful. As they said, “Why bother setting up two projectors, when you can now meet all your visual collaboration needs with the F35 panorama?”.
